Retired notebook upgrades

[Collins6127]

Hi i need to upgrade my compaq notebook Evo N1015v model 1456VQLT when I checked with up I found it was retired and they don't support it any more so how can I get support and upgrades

HP won't support it. Sice it came from the 2003-4 model year, your notebook is way past the five year support window.

You or a notebook shop will have to be the means of support.

Finding memory and processors is likely to be only in the second hand market.

DDR memory can be hard to come by. Only people like myself,  who posess a twenty five year's span box of RAM will be able to help you much.
